Remember that 53% of white women voted for this.
They voted for them and all women to be considered property.
College-educated white women backed Harris. All college-educated groups did. Maybe Democrats should work on making college more affordable, and accessible to women with small children. Frankly we should anyway. We should also start helping girls that get pregnant in high school finish with their diploma so college will be an option in their future. Especially since more of them are going to be forced to carry the pregnancy to term.
Maybe Democrats should work on making college more affordable
Why do you think the wingers reacted so much to having loan forgiveness? Anything that educates more people is something they fear. Having people not being saddled with crippling debts after school only sends a message to others that maybe education is a path for them. The wingers don't want an educated citizenry.
No, the gop has weaponized anti-intelectualism. The reds won't vote for a candidate that wants to make college affordable.
The DoE is already under attack. It’s part of Project 2025, and they’re laying the groundwork for it already. They’re going to work hard to ensure education is difficult to access and/or neutralized as much as possible.
Unfortunately no one hates women more than other women.
Article filled with examples of men expressing hatred and misogyny towards women
"Ayup, no one hates women more than other women!"
You still can't deny that women do hate women here.
53 percent of women hate women with that additional 10 percent of young women that voted to hate women.
I mean I'm willing to give women as a whole a quarter as a condolence prize since they played themselves.
Wow, the guy who bragged about how he sexually assaults anyone he finds attractive, talked about how he had the same "on the younger side" tastes as his best friend Jeff, talked about how he liked hosting beauty pageants because it gave him an excuse to walk in on girls while they were changing, etc emboldened other people to act the same way? Utter shock. This could never have been anticipated
Anybody who's surprised should take a deep look in the mirror. You bitches elected a literal rapist into the white house. This is the "great" leader republicans rally behind!
Rapist, terrorist, moron. The trifecta. We're literally living in the worst timeline :/.
Ah yes, economic anxiety. That's why racism and misogyny.
But they felt poor! That's what is making them so rapey and weird! I mean, eggs cost what, $100 each now?
The thing is: Biden and the Democrat Party made them this way!
Maga is not sending their best. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.
They're absolutely sending their best.
The problem is what they're best at is being Maga assholes.
The proper response to "your body, my choice" is "your nuts, my knee."
The correct response is "If I'm going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist"
Calm down, everyone. Remember, both sides are the same. Harris would have been absolutely no different.
Hmm maybe enabling these people was a bad idea
20% of Americans voted for him because he told them it's ok to be a rapist.
Chat, are we fucked?
Also, I'm afraid this is not just a "spike", per se, but more like a prelude to much worse, including not just threats.
Cue restrictions on the freedom of movement of women. To "protect" them, of course.
Dude literally said he was gonna “protect” women whether they liked it or not. I took him at his word, but clearly a lot of women didn’t.
Whats even more worrying.. that doesnt come just from somewhere. This kind of thoughts existed before.
I am really worried. This is taking an ugly turn quite fast. I'm so sorry..
Isn't this kind of shit that you guys have the 2nd amendment for?
women shouldn't need to kill people in order to live in the US. And their assailants almost certainly also have access to firearms because, the US (either legally or in violation of red flags etc).
people shouldn't need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.
Tbh, this is all a fucking distraction from the class war that the oligarchs are winning without competition. And what a distraction it is! The cure to all these ills is higher taxes on the wealthy, but I don’t think any of those reforms are going to be remotely possible now lol
How sad due to the internet, this is spilled over to the younger generation.
statistically younger generations tend to skew more liberal. Now we know why Musk bought Twitter propaganda.
This is why I wish those voters had held their nose for Kamala
LPT: I’m not opening this shit. I’m holding my family close. I’m gonna work my job. I’m gonna exercise and get sleep. I’m gonna stay healthy. I’m gonna vote in 4 years for a better president.
But I’m not going to turn my guts into knots over shit I cannot change. I’m not going to let the noise bury me.
Voting won’t save us. Not trying to throw a wrench in your plans to stay healthy and happy. But true mutual aid is what is most necessary now. Voting is what got us into this mess. Incrementalist politics will not save the climate, will not save us from fascism.
It’s the hard truth that the ownership class has brought to our lives. It’s the logical outcome of capitalism. This is sort of the endgame. We fight now. Relying on voting alone only enables more of the same. We’ve been trying to vote as long as the system has been around. And it’s led us here.
This is who we are. This shit was out in the open for all the degenerates to see and vote for.
Unrelated, but there was another article that showed up when i scrolled down about the Dems holding the PA House that was really interesting:
"Burns, a conservative anti-abortion Democrat, has drawn the ire of the Pennsylvania GOP for some time now, as his seat was viewed as a vulnerable blue dot in a sea of red. But he was able to maintain his seat thanks to an influx of cash ($3.4 million from the Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee) and a potent advertising blitz to keep Democrats in control of the state House.
One ad the Burns campaign ran capitalized on his conservative views, stoking anti-immigration based fear and casting Bradley as against Trump’s draconian immigration plans. “President Trump supports secure borders and putting America first. But Amy Bradley doesn’t,” the ad stated menacingly. It was a successful tactic for Burns in his otherwise deep red district."
That's a sign to me that people aren't as huge a fan of MAGA as one would believe and the voting base is more fluid. Not saying Dems should shift to anti-immigration / anti-abortion, but locally they should be more strategic about how they play these things. We don't have to agree with everything a down-ticket Democrat does... if they need to adjust their positions based on local sentiment we should be open to that as long as nationally we know where we stand.
That's what MAGA did with abortion...nationally oppose it, but claim to "give the choice to the states" to placate local fears. Localized and targeted messaging. If they don't want student loan forgiveness, don't run a single ad about student loan forgiveness in that state/county. If they mainly about immigration, make every ad about what the immigration bill would've done, that Trump/MAGA blocked it, that "BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS" as MAGA would put it.
Don't give up our overall ideals but start to better recognize that everyone has different priorities and we need to build a popular movement that connects with everyone.
Every and any avenue should be explored.
